macos-load-doctor SKILL.md skillA
macos-load-doctor from daymade/claude-code-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Diagnoses macOS system-level slowness, heat and fleet-wide timeouts: high load average, leaked per-session child processes (MCP servers, helpers), fork storms, busy loops. Use when the Mac feels slow or hot, fans spin up, or everything times out at once (电脑发烫/卡顿/负载高/全部超时). Not for single-app bugs, network slowness (use tunnel-doctor), launchd watchdog design (use macos-watchdog), or disk-full (use macos-cleaner).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# macOS Load Doctor
Find what is making the Mac slow or hot, attribute it to an owner, and act
within the shared-machine boundary. The skill's job is a correct, evidence-backed
attribution — not process cleanup.
## The one rule that orders everything else
**A fleet-wide symptom is an environment problem until proven otherwise.** When
independent apps, hooks or agents all start timing out or crawling at the same
time, none of them is the suspect — something is starving them all. Check the
machine first; debug individuals only after the machine reads clean.
## Triage (READ-DO, in order)
### 1. Load first, always
```bash
sysctl -n vm.loadavg; uptime
```
Expected: three numbers, e.g. `{ 3.12 4.01 5.20 }`. Read against the core
count, not an absolute: single digits are calm on a modern Mac; tens are busy;
**hundreds mean the run queue is many times oversubscribed and everything on
the machine is a victim** — hooks time out, keystrokes lag, pushes stall. A
load in the hundreds with no obvious culprit in the CPU column usually means
hundreds of small processes, not one big one.
### 2. Process census — run the bundled script
```bash
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add daymade/claude-code-skills/macos-load-doctor@sha256:4bb0614407cc7a0cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.13909f9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
